Instructions for completing Michigan Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption (Form 3372)

Purchasers may use this form to claim exemption from Michigan sales and use tax on qualified transactions. All fields must be completed; however, if provided to the purchaser in electronic format, a signature is not required. All claims are subject to audit. The purchaser must ensure eligibility of the exemption claimed; a purchaser who improperly claims an exemption is liable for tax, penalty, and interest, with limited exceptions.

Sellers: Michigan does not issue "tax exempt numbers" and a seller is not permitted to rely on a number in lieu of a valid exemption claim. Sellers are required to maintain proper records of exempt sales, including exemption forms or the same information in another format. Records may be kept electronically. If the exemption certificate is received in electronic format, a signature is not required. A seller who does not comply with these requirements may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest. See Revenue Administrative Bulletin 2016-14 for more information. All claims are subject to audit.

SECTION 1: A) Choose "One-Time Purchase" and include the invoice number this certificate covers.

B) Choose "Blanket Certificate" if there is a "recurring business relationship." This exists when a period of not more than 12 months elapses between sales transactions between the seller and purchaser. Parties do not need to renew this blanket exemption claim as long as the recurring business relationship exists.

C) Choose "Blanket Certificate" and enter the expiration date (maximum four years) when there may be a period of more than 12 months between sales transactions. This option is best when purchaser and seller anticipate more than one exempt transaction before the expiration date but do not have or may not maintain a recurring business relationship.

SECTION 2: Place a check in the box for "All items purchased" or choose "Limited to" and list the items that are covered by the exemption claim.

SECTION 3: Check the box that applies and, if applicable, provide the required information. The exemptions listed are the most common. If the exemption you are claiming is not listed, check "Other" and enter the qualifying exemption.

SECTION 4: Purchaser must complete Section 4. A signature is only required if a paper form is used; in that case, the purchaser should sign and provide their title (for example, Purchasing Manager, President, Owner). For Type of Business, enter the number from the following list that best describes the purchaser's business.
